Former editor in chief of the Source magazine Kim Osorio reveals the stories behind the stories from her upcoming book Straight From The Source: An Expose from the Former Editor in Chief of the Hip-Hop Bible.
This goes out to you....and you...and you...
Good morning! Okay, so what it's the afternoon, and I happen to be late with this, but I couldn't pull myself from reading all the wonderful comments on SOHH.com first! Thanks to all of you backing me up, and a special thanks to those who continue to promote my book Straight From the Source (out tomorrow!) with the negativity (make it funnier, though, please.)
Today, I've been a little busy and haven't been able to focus on writing. But with that said, let's dive right in. Now, I know that I'm going off on my own, 'cause I said I was gonna give you an outtake from the book, but f*ck it, I'll do that tomorrow. I'm in a funny mood today.
I don't know about some of y'all, but I like to read. Now, granted, I read A LOT of books OUTSIDE this genre, but maybe that is because we don't have enough. So without further ado, I'd love to encourage the writing of some more books, or like the haters like to call them "tell-alls!" If you don't like all the books coming out as of late, then write your own! Oh, but you can't. But here are a few folks who can, and I'm waiting for them!
Proposed Title: "Butts Come In All Colors"
Proposed Author: Yung Berg
Ha! I would be the first on line at Borders to buy this one. Dark butts, light butts, medium butts, vanilla butts, chocolate chip butts, I don't for one minute believe that Yung Berg discriminates, so I think this would be his opportunity to redeem himself.
Proposed Title: "How I Turned Out Your Girl"
Proposed Author: Ray J
From Kim Kardashian to Whitney Houston to who knows who else, Ray J has twisted out quite a few backs, and none of the women deny it. You used to think this was just Brandy's lil' brother, but he keeps women in regular rotation. Apparently, Ray J has something going on between the sheets and men should take notice and take some tips from him on how to treat the ladies.
Proposed Title: "What Happens In Detroit, Stays In Detroit"
Proposed Author: Kwame Kilpatrick
Don't think for one minute that politicians are gonna get a pass on this one. I think Kwame's story would be one worth hearing about. Hell, it may already be written in text messages. I'm sure if you string all those text messages together there'd be one hell of a book.
Proposed Title: "Spend Your Money Wisely"
Proposed Author: Elliot Spitzer
Now, since we've ventured into politics, and celeb stuff gets boring after a while, how can we forget Spitzer?! While the book's title will be a little misleading (not necessarily a financial book, but then again, hey, maybe there was money to be made there), Spitzer can chapter each title with a number, signifying the amount of money that's out there to spend on prostitution.
Tomorrow, Straight From The Source will be released, and guess who will be back to remind you to go out there and get it. Me. Haha. Toodles.
